Appropriate to give home name signs to baby and toddler?
My partner, toddler, and I are all hearing, and our 5 month old is HOH. We are all learning ASL. I know that name signs should be assigned by members of the Deaf community. However, our toddler largely does not have the dexterity to fingerspell yet. Is it acceptable to give them both name signs that we only use at home, that our toddler can sign? Or should we continue finger spelling, and our toddler will figure out a way to sign their names (much as babies/toddlers do when learning other signs, or spoken words when learning spoken languages)?
